Top Notch. By far the best realtor I have ever worked with. You can not do better.

We had an amazing experience working with Chris! He helped us purchase our new home and later sell our condo, making both transactions feel so much less stressful than we expected.
He was always responsive, knowledgeable, and kept us informed every step of the way. No matter what came up, he handled it with professionalism and made us feel confident throughout the process.
We're so thankful for all of his hard work and dedication. If you're looking for someone who truly cares about his clients and makes buying or selling a home as smooth as possible, we highly recommend him!

My realtor, Chris Phipps , was a dream come true. He was an amazing agent who had ideas for selling the house at the highest price in the shortest amount of time and continually adjusted our approach to flow with the constantly changing market which switched from a sellers market to a buyers market over night. He texted and called always keeping us informed. I recommend him to everyone buying or selling a house.

Thank you so much

My favorite thing about Chris while working to find a home was he is so pleasant to work with, even when we are in doubt about so many things, he felt like an agent/therapist/friend/uncle all in one person, he has deep knowledge about the area and even how to upgrade the place and how much work/cost would that be, it gave us much confidence while debating to purchase a home, We loved working with him and next time we move somewhere I hope he is still working so we can have him as our agent again! Thank you for your hard work. We really appreciate your expertise and patience.

We used Chris as our agent when purchasing in Orange County, and can say without any reservation that he is a wonderful agent. He is communicative, responsive, knowledgeable, and most importantly, ethical and trustworthy. I would not hesitate to recommend using him to close friends and family, and would vouch personally for his character.

Simply put, I’m coming back to Chris for my real estate needs. Overall, a well deserved 5 stars!
As someone who’s worked in the industry, I can say Chris is the real deal (first time home buyer / investor friendly broker). He did just as I asked him, “ I need help with the real estate side of the business and renovation.” Chris surely delivered. I know how important referrals are when you’re in the business, so I can definitely say I feel very comfortable recommending Chris to my friends and colleagues. A fair amount of real estate transactions can be a bit of a rollercoaster, so I cannot express how important it is to have a professional to guide you through it. Chris is that professional.
I’m more than happy to share my experience of how we got here:
By the time I was ready to buy a new place, my go to agent had moved to a different market. This resulted in me going to open houses and finding agents that were not only capable of doing their job well, but also had the mentality of an investor (or have experience flipping homes). Chris is that person. I met him in an open house and quickly we connected on what my plans were - to buy a fixer upper home that I will renovate for me to live in. The idea is that margins needed to be satisfactory to make it a good investment. Chris let me know his credentials of not just a broker with plenty of experience, but of a General Contractor, Property Manager and investor. Once I was able to finish some items from my end, I connected with Chris to start making offers on homes I found that met my criteria. Chris became my 2nd opinion on what made a good or bad deal and at what number we should offer. After 6 offers or so, my offer was accepted. Escrow took about 30 days or so with the twist that the sellers agent and owner did not read the contract and agreed to something they would otherwise not have moved forward with (a 3% seller credit in addition to the agreed price). This mishap was caught by the other party as they were signing the final papers. Chris had to deliver the unfortunate news to me and we actually ended up laughing about it as the timing was comical. It was going to get litigious from my end if the seller did not sign the final documents they agreed to during the whole process. Chris is well connected and l honestly felt like if this became ugly, Chris was there for me. Genuinely. He is there for his clients. Oh and did I mention this hullabaloo occurred 3 days before my wedding? (You can imagine the stress, but again I knew Chris was going to be there for me)
Anyway, the other party ended up signing the final documents, we got the keys and started the renovation! Again, Chris is well connected and it was plug and play. I used all his people and it was very cost effective. Working with Chris literally saved me money, it’s a no brainer. After 25 days or so (I can’t remember) the renovation was done and we were moving in. I wish I had better pictures but our new furniture is yet to come!
Anyway, I took the time to write this out because Chris is phenomenal at what he does. Thank you Chris for all your work and wishing you the best. Until next time!

I have worked with Chris on two sales and two purchases because he's a true professional. I first reached out to Chris in 2012 in search of our first home. It took us almost three years (on and off) to find the right property, but Chris was consistently patient, punctual, communicative, and prepared for each tour. He always came with internet connected tablet, allowing him to quickly access and provide us with the information we requested instantly on-site. He never pressured us and always offered advice in our best interest. In addition to being a fantastic realtor, Chris has a background in contracting, which allows him to provide valuable insight into repair and renovation costs. He also has a network of reliable contacts for when we needed work done. We aren't currently looking to buy or sell, but I know Chris will be the first person I call in the future.

Chris helped me sell my condo, and I couldn’t be happier with the experience. He made the entire process easy and kept me informed at every step. We ended up with highly competitive buyers and multiple rounds of counters, landing at a sale price higher than I was even aiming for. Thanks for everything, Chris!

My husband and I were lucky enough to meet Christopher Phipps at an open house in 2021 which he was facilitating. My husband and I felt comfortable with him right away because he gave us the honest facts, presented it in a simple and levelheaded manner, which is what we were needing as first time homebuyers. Fast forward 2 1/2 years later when we decided to move to Colorado and sell our home. Chris helped us do that and we sold our home for approximately $30,000 over asking. Chris can't control the market, but I believe he has all the tools to set you up for success. He helped make communication with the buyers smooth, set up realistic expectations and made the process seamless. We have recommended him to friends and family and will continue to do so.

Working with Chris made the process of selling my home nearly painless. He provided clear, thoughtful advice every step of the way and helped me feel confident in my decisions. His professionalism and guidance took a lot of the stress out of the experience. I’d absolutely recommend him to anyone looking to sell their home.

Christopher Phipps went above and beyond throughout our entire rental search, leasing, and move-in process. He really helped lead the way through some tricky dynamics, and took the stress off the whole process for us. We are so grateful we partnered with him, and know he will be our absolute go-to in the future!

Your search for a real estate agent is over! I am the type of person that overthinks and overanalyzes everything, but using Chris as my real estate agent is something I am always sure of. Not only does he have extensive market knowledge, he genuinely cared about helping me find the right property. He was patient and reliable, always prepared to tackle any situation. He has helped me to purchase two properties, in addition to utilizing his property management expertise to help me through the process of leasing one of them. I will definitely continue to work with him for all of my real estate needs.
Bryce Mordoff
Chris is a tremendous partner in all thing related to real estate. I have worked with him on multiple transactions over the past 5 years and have a great experience each time. He has now worked with multiple family & friends who all have the same feedback about his quality of work and expertise. What separates Chris from others is his expertise in things like renovations & construction costs which is extremely helpful in buying real estate. He acts as an advisor through each step of the process and is always focused on making sure the client is comfortable along the way. I also truly appreciate how responsive he is. He is extremely accessible, organized, and just on top of everything when you work with him. Highly recommend.

My wife and I can't recommend Chris Phipps highly enough! From the very first meeting, Chris was extremely professional, knowledgeable, and sincerely invested in helping us find the perfect home.
We had spent months with another realty team, but were unsatisfied and were referred to Chris by a friend. He took the time to understand what we were looking for and made the entire process smooth and stress-free. We looked at countless homes in the So. Orange Country area, and Chris was very patient with our requirements. His expertise in identifying the 'good vs. not-so-good' quality homes was truly impressive.
Chris was always available to answer questions, explain every step, and offer expert advice. His So. OC knowledge was a huge asset, and his negotiation skills helped us secure our new home at the right price.
Whether you're buying or selling, you’ll be in great hands with Chris. We're so grateful for his guidance and hard work, and we couldn't be happier with our new home!
